Flywheel

Thanks again that would be the best thing to do. Seller did respond and said he removed flywheel himself from 92 350l.I’m confident it is correct part so now after i confirm it i guess i should look toward the electric starter for the answer.

Owyhees on fire

One of my favorite close places to ride, the Owyhee Mountain Range, has been burning for several days. Lightning caused, currently at approx 325 sq miles, with little end in sight. Currently no deaths, injuries or damage to any homes. If you’re a praying type, you might sen a prayer to the firefighters, homeowners and ranchers.

atv chain saw mounts- what r you using?

Before i buy or build…would rather buy vs mess around, so curious as to what you guys are using on your quad, esspecially with these composite racks for chain saw mounts. Pictures welcomed 🙂

Im diggin the koplin "tube lookin thing" since i can just grab and go for trail maintainence, then pitch it in and tear ass to next trail stopper…..seems to be a faster system for stop and go situations like im in vs bar clamp style cuz obviously thatd eat into production time sliding it in, turning a knob to tighten clamp around blade, then reverse process when i come upon a tree branch that can whip somebody.

Currently i just slide my bar protector over chain and wedge in in left footwell and use my leg to hold it in place

So anything ya got im interested. Thanks

What’s Better?

So I’m thinking about purchasing a different branded air filter my next time around, and I’m thinking K&N or UNI filters. Does anyone have any reasons why one is better then the other? Or does anyone have any suggestions to another brand that might be better? Looking for great protection, and maybe a little added performance.

I added some pics of mine and my boys bikes, about to go do some father and son riding / bonding, one of the few ways I can get him to want to spend time with his "old dad" <-his words. We have built some great memories on the trails.

Thanks,
:veryhappy:

Rubberdown Customs

Did anybody purchase anything from Rubberdown Customs? If so, how long ago and what kind of experience did you have? I recently placed an order for a rad kit and now they are not responding to emails or phone calls. Not a good feeling since they have the cash!

Are they still in business? Any info about them would help…

Contract Awarded for Ground Guidance Route Planning Software

This is not ATV related, but Polaris related:

MINNEAPOLIS (August 13, 2015) – A contract for Ground Guidance software expands the patented route planning and terrain analysis software for the U.S. Army by integrating it into the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) platform. The software suite from Primordial, which is owned by Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII), provides on-and off-road routing for mounted and dismounted soldiers, accounting for terrain, weather, enemy activity and equipment load. The contract also includes a computer-based training (CBT) package.

Military small unit leaders face complex tradeoffs when selecting equipment and routes. Ground Guidance, when integrated into platforms like ATAK, plans efficient and safe routes to and from mission objectives and allows soldiers to account for other variables that impact speed and time.

“We continue to expand the integration of Ground Guidance onto our mission planning platforms because it accelerates mission planning, enables dynamic and rapid re-planning, facilitates thorough course of action (COA) analysis, and is critical for remote mission planning,” said LTC Robert Klarenbach, U.S. Army. “Bottom line, it increases the combat effectiveness of our soldiers.”

Also, with each platform and integration comes user evaluation and testing to improve the software and verify the accuracy of route metrics such as distance, duration, energy expenditure, calories burned and “Ground Guidance dramatically accelerates mission planning, facilitates on-the-fly re-planning, and improves route quality by automatically generating fast and concealed routes through on- and off-road terrain,” said Randy Milbert, Director of Software, Polaris. “As a result, small combat teams are more autonomous, nimble and adaptable in quickly changing battlefield conditions.”

Ground Guidance has been integrated into FalconView, TerraExplorer, Nett Warrior, X-Plan, Ringtail, Tactical Ground Reporting (TIGR) and Google Earth. Primordial has also secured Ground Guidance contracts with major defense contractors including General Dynamics, Rockwell Collins, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon.

400ex Suspension

I’ve discovered the ball joints on my a arms are shot. It looks like aftermarket is the only reasonable option. I was looking a +2 wider since I can’t find oem size. If I get +2 what kind if shocks will I need? Do the shock relocation kits work good for the oem shocks? I really don’t want to spend a fortune on them.
